The 27-year-old represented Iceland at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, as well as the 2016 European Championship, accomplishments that come with a certain amount of clout.
Despite this, Traustason hasn’t shown any ego since joining the New England Revolution as he’s been working hard on a daily basis. Turner noted that Traustason is “already looked upon as sort of a leader in the locker room.”
